Fix in cvs Can you check if cross compile works now ? Rem: You must set the env variable LIBPCAP_PCAP to linux or bpf

Now to set the kernel version... The target kernel is in $ROOT/usr/src/linux In my case ROOT=/usr/armeb-softfloat-linux-uclibc
libpcap should not be poking around in the kernel source
I think we can remove the test from the configure script. The only use that I see in the script, is just to check that the linux kernel version is greater than 2
Created attachment 116980 [details, diff] libpcap-0.9.5.ebuild.patch ebuild with patch for configure to only work on linux v2 kernels and newer
Created attachment 116982 [details, diff] libpcap-0.9.5.linux_v2.patch patch "configure" for linux v2
Created attachment 117723 [details, diff] libpcap-0.9.5.ebuild.diff Can you try with this patch ?
Created attachment 117724 [details, diff] libpcap-0.9.5-crosscompile.patch
It compiles cleanly now with the latest patches. Gives the nice warning: checking whether to build parser debugging code... no checking Linux kernel version... unknown configure: WARNING: cannot determine linux version when cross-compiling ./configure: line 6204: test: unknown: integer expression expected checking if if_packet.h has tpacket_stats defined... yes checking whether we have /proc/net/dev... yes
Created attachment 117893 [details, diff] libpcap-0.9.5-crosscompile.patch And with this one, is there always the same error on line 6204 ?
Created attachment 117986 [details, diff] libpcap-cross-linux.patch here is the patch you want to use and send upstream
note ... that'll also allow you to drop the --with-pcap crap in the ebuild for cross-compilers
Cédric and SpanKY both of those patches work.
Fix in cvs (with SpanKY patch) Thanks
